Which episode is getting a sequel?
It's now been confirmed the 'familiar' story will be a sequel to series four episode USS Callister, which featured Jesse Plemons as Robert Daly.
Also starring actors Cristin Milioti, Jimmi Simpson, Michaela Coel and Billy Magnussen, the popular episode sees Jesse's character Robert create a simulated reality within a game, where he's the spaceship commander with his real-life employees as his crew.
As fans will know, the episode ends with Robert found dead and the rest of the crew in danger, with the new teaser saying: “Robert Daly is dead, but for the crew of the USS Callister, their problems are just beginning,”
What will the other episodes be?
At this stage, no other episodes have been announced.
How many episodes will it have?
Series seven will be made up of six new episodes.
When will series 7 air?
Bosses have confirmed fans will have to wait until 2025 for the new series to drop, but there's no exact start date right now.
How can I watch it?
Just like the past six series, series seven will be available on Netflix.
